It's evidence that the football World Cup is more than just football; it's knowing that millions of people from every corner of our planet are watching the same game at the same time and that the emotions we experience when our teams score (or fall) are echoed across the globe.

The anticipation, the jubilation, the heartbreak; the World Cup is a roller coaster of a ride. During England versus Italy, Daniel Sturridge's equaliser caused more than 200,000 excited tweets per minute, and it's only going to get more intense as teams make their way towards the grand final.

It's a brilliant madness and global sensation that you can be part of.

Capture your World Cup emotions by recording your reactions to those magic or tragic moments. It’s easier than you think.

How

Use video cameras to record you and your friends watching the World Cup Finals and share the best moments online.

The next big game for Australia happens early Thursday morning at 2am (AEST) against the Netherlands. (Sorry, boss, I'm going to be a little bleary-eyed at work the next day and you'll see why in a short video soon after.)

Why

Because it's fun, happens only once every four years, and with the technology we have, we can. It's pure play; you, your mates, the World Cup and a camera.

Add tags to help other people find your video of the same moment (e.g. fanreactions, #worldcup2014, australia, chile, cahill, goal)

Extra time (useful tips)

If possible, use cameras that can record at high frame rates (50/60fps, 120fps, 240fps, etc.) such as GoPros, dSLRs, and smartphone apps to capture moments clearly, especially if you want to make slow motion video,

Record in as high quality as possible; HD format recommended (1080P or 720P),

Make sure there is enough light to see you and your friends clearly,

Make sure you have enough battery power and space on your camera to record the length of the game (or at least each half),

Share the most interesting expressions from you and your mates rather than uploading the whole video (unless the whole video is awesome.)

Find other videos and check out the reactions from World Cup fans who watched the same game.

Slow motion action

If you like, use a video editing program such as iMovie (Mac) or Windows Movie Maker (PC) to slow down or speed up your video footage. Check out this example: Three on the couch.

I loved the exhilaration felt when Van Persie flew through the air to head in the equaliser against Spain. Thrilling to watch! The Socceroos will have their work cut out for them when we take it to the Oranje tonight.
